HELENA - Gov. Brian Schweitzer is on his way south to catch two Montana football teams competing for the top spots in national championship football.
“I could not be more proud of these two outstanding football teams,” Schweitzer said in a news release. “My hat’s off - not only to all the players, but to the staff, coaches and all the parents who have worked so hard to make these two teams so incredible. I am excited to take in some Montana football. Go Griz and Go Saints!”
On Friday night the University of Montana Grizzlies take on the Richmond Spiders in the NCAA Division I Championship Game held in Chattanooga, Tenn. Then on Saturday Helena’s Carroll College Saints will face off against the University of Sioux Falls Cougars in the NAIA National Championship in Rome, Ga.
Governor Schweitzer will attend both games before heading home Saturday night.
